Why is the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society of the United
States, the Best Company
to Toin2

/. Because it issues the best policy !:
It's policies are simple and concise, and
become incontestabIe as soon as they are
three years CID.
Because it pays every incontestable

In paying promptly instead of delay
ing for several months. as is usual VI iLb
other companies, it does more to relieve
distress and to protect estates, than
could be accomplished by paying double
the amount after long delay.
The Fq 'itable is the best company,
bee ruse it has n>contested claims on its
books.

The North Carolina Way.
Progressive Farmer.l

A merchant in Goldsboro advertises
the arrival of one car Of bulk meat,
one Car of mess pork, one car of lard,
two cars of flour, one car of timothy
hay, two cars of seed oats, one car of
corn, one car of bran, one car of ship
stuff and chops, one car of bolted
meal. A merchant in Concord in
formed us recently that seven hundred
and fifty barrels of flour were shipped
to that point in one week. Thousands
of dollars worth of the above products
are shipped to Winston. The great
bulk of these things, is sold to farmers
The argument of the farmer is, that he
can buy them cheaper than he can
produce them. We have seen men
pay enc a0LLar per hundred for hay,
who can produce it at home for eight
cents per hundred, and yet these men
talk of hard times. Bankruptcy and
ruin will as surely and inevitably fol-
low such a suicidal policy, as night fol-
lows day. To arrest this fatal policy
is the great and grand work of farmers
organizations; they should have the
earnest and patriotic support and en-
couragement of editors, merchants,
professional men, and indeed of all
citizens who have at heart the we'll
being and happiness Of our people.

Of the United States has, besides it's main
Office in the Equitable Building, 120
Broadway, New York, branch Offices at

are paid more promptly than the poll
cies issued by any other company.
'fhe Equitable is one of tho strongest

The Little Children that are Gone.
[Chicag0 Advance. ]

Why do they come, these little ones
that enter our homes by the gateway
of suffering, and that linger with us a
few months, uttering no word, smiling
in a mysterious silence, yet speaking
eloQuently all the time of the purity
and sweetness of Heaven2 Why must
they open the tenderest fountains of
our nature, only to leave them SO soon,
choked with the bitter tears of loss? 1t
is impossible wholly to answer such
questions of the tortured heart, but one
can say, In general, that these little
temporary wanderers from a celestial
home come and go because of the great
love of God. 1t is an inestimable
blessing to have been the parent of a
child that has the stamp of Heaven
upon its brow, to hold it in ones arms,
to minister to it, to gaze fondly down
into the little upturned face and to re-
ioiCe in the unsllllied beauty of its
smiles, and then-to give it back to
God at His call, with the thought that
in Heaven, as upon earth, it is still our
own child, a member of the household
still, to be counted always as one of
the children whom God hath given us.
Such 4 love Chastens and sanCtifes the
hearts of the father and mother, carries
them out beyond time ard sense, and
gives them a hold upon the unseen.
As things of great value always cost,
it is worth all the sorrow to have known
this holy affection and to have this
treasure in Heaven.

What is Farming 2
TSuiiny South. |

It is something more than staying
on farm. 1t is something more than
skimming the soil. 1t is more than
selling hay or potatoes, and bulky
crops un-animalized. Farming IS a
business, profession, practical and
scientific operation. The processes OF
nature must be understood, if not IN
their technical terms and language, in
that sensible understanding, that COM
mon-sense-way, that their own advan-
tage, capabilities may be turned to the
best account. The lawyer works by
law and precedent; the physician works
by symptoms and indications; the mer-
chant by rules and observation; the
mechanic by measures and capacities.
The farmer must work by abby rules,
laws, observation and experiment. He
must be a skilled workman in the pro-
ductive, operative and commercial cir
cles in which his business lies, and his
sphere of circulation extends.

Enioy Life,

What a truly beautiful world We live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
gIens and oceans, and thousands of means of
enjoyment. We can desire no better when
in perfect health; but how often do the ma.
.iority of people feel like giving it up dis
heartened, discouraged and worn out with
disease, when there is no occasion for this
feeling, rs every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof, that Green's august Ffower,
will make them free from disease, as when
born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are
the direct causes of seventy-fye per cent. Of
such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costireness, Nervous Pros
tration, Dizziness of the Head, PaIpitaticn
of the Heart, and other distressing symp-
toms. Three doses of August Fiouer will
prove its wonderful effect. Sample bottles,
